>>So I'd like to introduce today's workshop "Creating your
NIH or NSF Biosketch with SciENcv." This particular
workshop is really designed for people who are new to my
bibliography and SciENcv or would like a refresher on how it
works as there are some requirements changing both from
NIH and NSF. We are not going to be discussing policy today.
We're not involved actually with developing or really explaining
the policy. Our job
at the NCBI and the National Library of Medicine is to
provide systems to hopefully make it easy for you to be able
to comply with what NIH and NSF says. So if you have questions
about policy, valid questions, I'm sure, Sherri has included in
the workshop material some links to help desks so that you can
specifically ask those questions to NSF or NIH granting personnel
and they'll be able to help you out.
David Brodsky again will be in the Q&A answering questions
and also asking some of your questions directly to Sherri.
Now I'd like to introduce Sherri. Sherri Holland Bailey is
an NCBI customer experience member. She's been at the NCBI
for quite a while and she is not only part of the help desk
answering questions on granting matters for NCBI users, but also
participates in development processes of My NCBI, the NCBI
dashboard and
SciENcv as well, providing customer service experience and
the voice of the customer to the development team itself. So
she'll be relaying some really good suggestions you have on to
the team so that they can hopefully make the process even
better for you. She has a diverse library and training
experience working with professors, educators, teachers,
state officials, as well as a lot of different granting people
and professors and researchers as well.
And has a lot of really good teaching experience. So I'd like
to now turn this over to Sherri Holland Bailey. And again I
welcome you here and I hope you have a good workshop. Sherri,
it's all yours.
>>Thank you very much and I appreciate you joining us
today. So let's get started.
I'm going to go ahead and share my screen with you.
OK. So as you know this is a very basic course. It's going to
teach you the mechanics and for every level there is something
here for you and of course there is that hands on aspect. And
again the way that we are going to work today is I'm going to
show you a brief overview, a kind of a how to, and then I'm
going to give you time to work through a very focused SciENcv
environment. Now, if you find that the time goes too quickly,
remember that all the resources are available on your resource
page, which you can see here, and you can always go back, take
your time to go through them, and even review some of the
hands on work in our test environment after the workshop.
So again, setting our expectations in that nutshell,
we're going to cover the mechanics
of creating that Biosketch and the current and pending other
support documents using SciENcv and a few of the other NCBI
resources like PubMed and My Bibliography. And again
regarding any policy issues, NIH-ers, please contact the IC
which is the Institutes and Centers or your policy officer.
As far as NSF policy, please
direct all of your questions to the NSF Policy Office and I'll
show you where to locate that information as we go along. So
remember, you're not going to be covering how to apply for a
grant, the NIH RPPR,
and the NIH post-award process, and if you're interested in
learning how to do those things with the NCBI resources, please
join me on April 4th or April 11th, and that information will
be available to you soon.
So let's get started.
I just really want you to become familiar with some of the terms
that you will hear me saying today, and you've already heard
us say today. And let's get started with us here at NCBI. We
will-- We're the ones who are providing you this workshop
today, and we are a division of NLM, which is the National
Library of Medicine and a branch of NIH. The next tool that we'll
be talking about is My Bibliography, which is a tool
within your My NCBI account, and you're going to use this to
store citations, and it really has two functions.
The first is the pre-award process and it's used to create
your federal Biosketches for NIH and NSF and soon DOE, Department
of Energy Science Department, will have its very own form as
well.
So let's go back over to the website and it's time to get
started with SciENcv.
You know what it is, you've heard about it. But what exactly
are the benefits?
First, it's going to provide you with an acceptable formatting
automatically, meaning like your margins, your fonts, your format
and so on. It's going to eliminate the redundancy. You
create it once and then you're able to edit and modify it and
also print on demand.
We're also going to be able to leverage data from other systems
for citations, like My Bibliography, which I mentioned
a little earlier, as well as ORCID. Now ORCID is called the
Open Researcher and Contribution Identifier, and this is really
used to identify yourself and connect your works, your
citations.
So let's scroll down a little bit. So right now we're on the
SciENcv page.
I want to give you just a really brief timeline. We will be
celebrating 10 years in August and along with that celebration
of 10 years of SciENcv, we are going to be having a facelift.
So those of you who have already used NSF current and pending
support document, you've kind of seen what the facelift looks
like and you've already had that sneak peek and of course we are
always working on
better usability, so please stay tuned.
Now for each page you will find
once we actually get into the different pages, you are going
to find information like this: how to get to the website,
help guide information video, as well as e-mail addresses.
So before we really start SciENcv, what's the first thing
we need to do? You guessed it, we need to create an account.
Here's the information on how to create an account, or if you
already have an NCBI account, how to link to your existing
account. So the information is here. Now you'll notice I have
two different URLs.
The first one I suggest for people who are primarily
NIH-ers, meaning NIH, you're applying for their grants to use
the first.
NSF-ers because you're primarily using SciENcv with the option of
using My Bibliography, I always suggest that you use the second
one as well as some information down here on how to link your
account. Now when you link your account, one of the main things
as well as create the account,
I want to make sure that you actually go into your e-mail and
confirm your account. It's not enough just to create it, you
need to confirm it as well. That way you won't have to log in
later on.
People who are having their accounts managed, or a delegate,
a delegate will also be to have an account as well. So what
exactly is a delegate? A delegate is that person who's
going to manage your account. You can manage a single person's
account, you can manage multiple accounts, and a delegate is
going to have access to either My Bibliography
and/or SciENcv.
And of course, you're going to be working within the NSF or the
NIH, or both, for your Biographical Sketch
or current impending support. There's help desk documentation
available for you as well as you can always e-mail us if you have
additional questions. Now if you look over here on the left-hand
side, you'll see ERA Commons. Of course you'll see NIH Public
Access Policy as well as the NIH Manuscript Submission System, or
NIHMS.
These are primarily used in the post-award
documentations of the account.
So we'll talk about that again later in April.
So if you want someone to manage your account, the first thing
you're going to do is you're going to send a delegation
request. You're going to log into your NCBI account, you're
going to click, you use your name on the top right-hand
corner and underneath it is a section called Delegates and
this is where you will add the e-mail of your delegate.
Now for my delegates out there,
you're going to receive an e-mail, and what you need to do
first is to log into your NCBI account within 24 hours of
receiving that delegation request, locate that e-mail,
click the delegation acceptance link, and this is what your
account should look like. Now don't worry, we're going to take
a look at see what it actually looks like. So let's start from
the very beginning. I'm actually going to log in from SciENcv,
and I'm going to go from in itself.
Now, the first time that I log into NSF
it's going to ask me my username and password, or if you have one
of the different login methods of course, because I already
have an account, I have my information filled out and I'm
simply going to sign in.
Now, the very first time you sign into SciENcv, you're going
to go to a create a document page, which we're going to talk
about a little later. But I want to show you some of the
navigation within your SciENcv account itself.
My NCBI will take you back to the dashboard where you're able
to access My Bibliography for example.
But the main tool for navigation for you is going to be this NCBI
delegate which is my personal username. And yours will be
different of course. So at the bottom of course,
easy, Logout.
Your Account Settings. This is where you're going to be able to
update your e-mail address. You're going to be able to have
people for your delegate as well as link your account.
Publications will take you to My Bibliography, which we'll take a
look at in a moment, and then of course the dashboard. Now, if
you're logging in through PubMed or any of our other NCBI
databases, you have the ability to come to the dashboard by
clicking dashboard SciENcv. You just simply go to your account
or you go over to the side with the cookie crumb.
Now that you're on your home page itself, you have the
ability to customize this page. Now within this, you have the
ability to close out of portlets that you may not need. You have
the ability to collapse them as well as the ability to move.
You make a mistake, no worries. Go to customize this page and
you have the ability to go back.
Now next is your NCBI Preferences.
This is where you can set up outside tools to access journal
holdings that your participating institutions may have already,
as well as some other really cool features.
Next is our Video Overview. Pretty self-explanatory as well
as help documentation.
But, SciENcv while we're here.
The main two pieces that I want to point out to you right now is
your My Bibliography as well as Collections. Now both are
collections, but they hold different purposes, delegates.
Because I'm in my delegate account right now, you will only
have access to My Bibliography as you can see here and SciENcv.
Now My Bibliography should only contain citations used in the
biosketch and things that are authored by the account owner or
an award that they hold.
Now citations can be added
four different ways. So let's actually go into the account
itself. I simply go down to Manage My Bibliography.
And this is My Bibliography home page. The four ways that I can
add. If you go to add citations you can add from PubMed.
You can add from a file meaning MEDLINE or RIS file. Or you can
add the citations manually.
These three methods are what you will be doing in our first
hands-on, so I'm going to walk you through and let you see it
in real time. The first thing that we're going to do is from
PubMed.
And I'm only going to do one, and I'm going to allow you to
explore the other three.
So I have an author and her name is Kerri Bailey. This is whose
account I am managing, so I will type in her name.
I'll click search search PubMed.
Now as you can see there are three different ones.
I just happen to know for a fact that she is a brand new PI and
she only has two publications, so I'm going to go ahead and put
these two.
I am also going to show you the fourth way a little later after
our hands on
on how you can narrow down who your author is. So what we're
going to do is we're just simply going to add to My Bibliography.
Once you're complete, you click X. So basically I walked you
through the first.
I want you to-- I'm going to give you some time and I want
you to explore how to do it from a file as well as a manual. So
let's go back to our actual
resource page and if you're following along, what I need you
to do is to go to My Bibliography: What to do?
Now within here you will see how to
actually add the citations from PubMed
from a file
and from a manual citation.
But for your hands on, what we're going to do is we are
going to go to Your Turn.
And each one of these has a Your Turn. I'm going to give you
approximately 6 minutes to read the directions.
Go to "Click here to start."
Which will take you into our test environment which will look
similar to this. And one thing I always want you to remember, if
you get stuck at any time all you need to do is click anywhere
on the screen and it will highlight where to go next.
So I am going to give you a few moments. Go ahead and pull up
the My Bibliography page.
And let's get started. Now, when you're ready,
and you're finished or you're ready to move on, just simply go
into your Zoom meeting and raise your hand if you find that you
need more time. No worries, we can do that too. So 6 minutes
starts now.
And remember, any questions, put them in the Q&A for us and
we can help get you there.
We are down to our last second. Does anyone need more time? If
so, please raise your hand.
OK David, before we actually jump into the biosketches,
biographical sketches themselves, are there any
questions?
>>Yes, we have two questions. One is
specific to biosketches and NIH biosketches, will NIH ever makes
SciENcv a requirement like NSF?
>>That is a policy question. Very, very good policy
question at this time, it is not a requirement. It may change in
the future. That would need to be directed to NIH Policy
itself.
>>Alrighty and a different question, would you recommend
taking the time to link all of the relevant third party
accounts to your NCBI account like ERA Commons, like ORCID?
>>All of that I would, and the reason why is, especially if
you are a NIH grantee, you're going to need your ERA Commons
to complete your RPPR, which is part of compliance, which is
part of My Bibliography. Now I'd like to think of logins as ways
that you can enter a room.
And more than one is always welcome.
As far as if you're NIH grantee as well as an NSF grantee, I
would definitely link those two.
ORCID is a awesome--
is an awesome link and the reason why I say this is
sometimes there are things that you do not want to your My
Bibliography but you may want to include in your biosketch. Once
we actually get into the biosketch itself, you can see
you have the availability of both of those tabs and you can
select and pick from each one of those. One of the benefits with
the ORCID account is within NSF, especially if you have a very
long
author list. You have the ability to edit that author list
because remember, there's only a three-page limit as opposed to a
five-page limit with an NIH.
Anything else, David?
>>Yes, for RIS files or MEDLINE files
what's the file type, if the citations are formatted as an
RIS file or RIS format or MEDLINE format?
Is it a text file? Is RIS a specific file type?
>>They are fine types, but they are within a text file
itself. Now depending on your reference manager, like if you
use Endnote or Refworks, it will automatically do this for you.
It's just a matter of selecting the actual type itself. And as
far as directions, I highly suggest you consult whatever
reference manager you're working with.
>>OK, great. >>OK. Anything else?
>>Should I always use my institutional login to log into
NCBI? Can I change it later?
>>You can, once you actually create your account.
You can even use things like your personal Google account,
your personal Microsoft account, in addition to your institution,
because we know that sometimes those do change. Chances are
your ORCID will always remain the same. Your Google account
e-mail as well as Microsoft will always remain the same. And I
always suggest also login.gov it is going to give you one way to
log into pretty much
every federal government's database. So login.gov is also
another good free option that can travel with you.
>>All right. Awesome. That is it for
open questions right now. >>OK, great. Let's move
on. So what we are going to do now is we're going to go to NIH
Biosketches. If you're following along with me or you're just
watching my screen in the very beginning, you see we have a
very brief description. We also discuss who are key and senior
personnel,
other things that you should know, as well as getting
started. Now I am actually going to show you this live, so we're
going to go back into my account as a delegate.
I am going to go to dashboard because remember, I can manage
and navigate right here from the upper right hand side. Now from
here I have a chance to either work on my own SciENcv or any
account that I'm delegated in. So what I am going to do is
we're actually going to look and see what a delegated account
looks like.
You're going to have a banner here to let you know that you
are working within the delegated account itself.
Now what I'm going to do is let's create a new document and
since we're working with NIH biosketches.
I'm just going to create just a test account, but you want your
document name to be something that's meaningful to you. That
way you have the ability to go back to it at any point in time.
You're going to select your format.
And then you have a couple of data sources. You can either
look start a brand new blank one. Now remember, if you're new
to SciENcv this is the page that you see the menus you saw before
is after you actually have documents within it itself.
This is the burden that I was talking about. You have the
ability to create from your existing document as well as
external sources and right now they're ERA Commons and organ.
Soon it will be NSF where it will import that information for
you.
Something I would like to point out really quickly before we
move on. With NIH biosketches, you have the ability to share,
you can either make it private or public with NSF, either their
biographical sketch as well as their current and pending other
support. It is private, so you do not have an opportunity to
share that URL. OK, so let's go ahead and start with an existing
document.
Let's see. Let's pick-- I think
that houses information-- let's go with
the Fellowship.
Now, the reason why I selected the Fellowship, there is a
difference between the NIH Biosketch as well as the
Fellowship.
The difference between the two are the actual grades
themselves. This is where you have the ability to enter it,
but as you can see here based on my profile type.
I selected the NIH Biosketch.
This is a link to all of the instructions. I have the ability
to also edit the actual document title itself as well as share.
And it provides with a provides me with the URL and I can stop
sharing it at any time.
If I need to update my name I have the ability to edit that
and as you can see my account is linked to ORCID so it is
automatically going to show here as well as my ERA Commons ID.
Now this particular information is filled out, but if I were to
add another degree
as you can see here, we do have some required information, such
as the school itself, the degree information and of course when
your degree was granted or when you've done your training
itself.
So I'm going to exit out of this.
And I also want to show you the Edit feature, because this
actually is going to be your next hands-on. Within the Edit
feature, you have the ability to show or hide any of the
information located within any of these, meaning your education
and training.
I have the ability to edit or delete the entry itself, so I'm
going to go to the second one and let's take a look at it.
I have my information listed here, but I can also change the
dates
if need be. And save.
And my information has been updated.
Another section of the Biosketches for NIH is a
personal statement, and this is where this is your chance to
shine, you're going to say
why you are well suited for this particular product-- project as
well as you have the option of
associating up to four peer review publications.
Another reason why I was saying sometimes it's important,
especially if you already have a working account created. You
have the ability to pull citations from ORCID itself as
well as from My Bibliography. So I'm going to select those two
and simply save my citations.
And as you can see it is here for me.
The next section is your position, scientific
appointments, as well as honors. Again making information that
you enter. You have the ability to edit and delete.
The final piece is contributions to science.
Now, the great thing about contributions to science within
NIH Biosketch is that you can add up to five contributions. So
you give a brief description, you can select your citations,
up to four, and you have five tabs where you can add this
information.
So that is what the actual biosketch itself looks like. Now
I want to just jump back really quick and show you something.
Remember, I always love breadcrumbs, so if I want to
just go back to the SciENcv page.
I just simply click on my breadcrumb and I'm brought back.
I want to show you really quickly what the Fellowship
looks like. So we're going to scroll down and this is the only
difference is the scholastic performance. And based on my
education, it's automatically going to pull in my institutions
and I simply enter the year, the course, the grades. I have the
ability to edit as well
as additional courses for each one of those institutions and
also explain the actual grading system itself.
Something else I'd like to highlight to you at the top as
well as the bottom for the NIH biosketches. You either have the
ability to create a PDF, a Word document, or XML is at the
bottom and the top.
Now let's jump back to the actual training resources. If
you scroll all the way down for me, we'll go past the sections
ABC.
The difference between the NIH fellowship and the regular NIH
biosketch is D.
If you make a mistake, we've somewhat discussed that by
showing you the edit, and what I want you to find now is Your
Turn.
And it is time for some more hands on. So I am going to put
another 6 minutes on the clock for you.
If you find that you need more time, simply let us know, but
otherwise
get started.
OK. We are winding down. If you need just a little bit more
time, now is a great time to raise your hands. So we know to
give you a few more moments. And while you do that, I'm going to
turn it over to David and see if we have any more questions.
>>Hey, Sherri, yes we do.
At the top of the biosketch there is a share button. What
does that do?
>>This is when I was talking about the public URL. So
if you would like to share your biosketch with other people, you
have the ability to do so now. This feature is only available
for NIH biographical sketches.
>>So if I share my biosketch, can the people I
share it with, can they download it? Can they edit it? Is it only
viewing? >>It's viewing only.
>>OK.
Next question, if I am a postdoc and I'm applying for my first
grant, should I use the Fellowship Biosketch for NIH or
the regular NIH biosketch?
>>Great question. That is one of the things that you
definitely want to talk to your policy officer about. Depending
on the type of grant, in some cases you probably will need to
use the actual fellowship grant--. Excuse me, biosketch,
but it may vary.
The ultimate resource in the final say is with the actual
policy of that program officer.
>>Great.
Can you clarify the personal statement section? It sounds
like it is project specific. Does that mean we should
generate a unique biosketch with unique personal statement for
every proposal we submit?
>>Now remember you're going to say why you are well
suited for that project. So
do you want to stand out? I guess that should be my question
to you. What is going to make NIH or-- NIH say, yes, this
person has the tools that we want to finance, we want to, we
want to give them the award. So yes, this is your opportunity to
stand out, not to, to be actually in front of the crowd
as opposed to part of it. So I personally, and this is just a
personal preference,
I would,
basically, fine tune every personal statement to say why I
should have this role.
>>OK, for section A, is there a way to automatically
pull in ongoing research funding?
>>Not for Section A, not yet. I will tell you that NIH is
in the process of updating their biosketch itself. You remember I
was telling you how everything is going to get a facelift. It's
going to be a lot easier to use. That is one of the things that
they're looking at. I do not know the release as of yet
because I do know that they're currently working on the actual
requirements.
>>Last question that we have right now, this is getting
ahead of ourselves to the NSF biosketch.
Does my NCBI account need to be linked to my NSF account in
order to submit an NSF Biosketch? Does it need that NSF
ID or does it need to be linked to any other particular
third party accounts? >>OK that is definitely a policy
question. It does change, policy is not one of the things that we
personally stay up upon. We just make sure that we meet the
requirements. In the next screen I will definitely show you how
to get in touch with NSF policy.
>>OK.
Then I believe that is it for-- well, sorry that this one is
almost certainly a policy question. Do you recommend that
cited page price for each contribution to be ranked by
impacts or date?
Or is it just
how we want to--
how we want the citations to be viewed?
>>OK, well since this is a-- if this is if this is
actually NSF policy question. You do have the ability to rank
your citations. Now, the greatest impact, that definitely
is a policy question. But within the NSF biographical sketch
themselves, you do have the ability to move around
citations.
>>Do you have that same ability for the contributions to
science section in the NIH biosketch? >>You do not.
>>OK, so those are just ordered by date. >>They
are ordered by date, correct, automatically, yes.
>>That's it for questions. >>OK, great. Great
questions. Keep them coming. OK, next, let's move on to the NSF
biographical sketch.
Again, this is where you're going to find your information,
as well as the actual link to the PAPPG guide for biographical
sketches themselves. If you have a policy question, just simply
click on the e-mail icon there and ask your question to that.
So more information on what's required.
Who senior personnel is, what else? You should know how to get
started. You're pros at this now, so we are going to jump in
right away and we're going to go to Your Turn. So I'm going to
give you a moment to catch up with me. If you're not actually
following along on your screen, we're an NSF biographical
sketch.
We're scrolling down to after How to Get Started and you'll
see a Your Turn here. Just simply click on the carrot.
Here is your information, your directions on what you're going
to be doing. So you are going to be giving the document a name.
You're selecting the NSF biographical sketch. You're
going to use an existing document similar to what you saw
me do. You're going to select the NIH biosketch 2023.
And what you're going to do is you're going to navigate to that
professional preparation and you're going to edit the actual
entries, those citations, and you're going to deselect the
first box,
which is the National Institutes of Health. So just in case you
need a little clue there, you're going to edit the second entry,
you're going to enter the actual country field, because what
you'll notice is country is not a required field within the NIH
biographical sketch, but it is for NSF.
You're going to click save and you're going to close the
browser. Now remember anytime you need a hint, you would just
simply click anywhere within the screen itself of your
environment and it will highlight where to go next. So
I'm thinking because you are pros at this, we only need about
5 minutes. So when you're ready to move on, raise your hand. If
you find that you need more time let us know and in the meantime
also look through
the different sections of the NSF biographical sketch so you
know what to expect. And I'm going to go ahead and start the
timer now and also keep those questions coming if you have
them.
OK, we are at time. If you need any additional time, let us know
by simply raising your hands otherwise.
David, do you have any questions for me?
>> Yes we do.
Why are we duplicating a document? Is that to import to a
different format? How does altering the educational
background relate to?
>>OK, reason why we are duplicating a document. Remember
I went back when we first started talking about SciENcv?
It was to help alleviate that administrative burden so you
don't have to type in your educational information every
single time. If there are certain citations that you would
like to keep, you don't need to duplicate that, as well as some
of the additional information depending on the section itself
especially
those that kind of overlap.
The other part was
why do we alter, I guess, kind of remember for your
biographical sketch you want the pertinent information. If I'm
applying for a NSF award, for example.
And I've done some type of certification or some type of
training that is not applicable to what I'm applying for. For
NSF, I wouldn't show it, so I would hide that within my
biosketch.
>>OK.
Does science TV automatically generate the professional
preparation and employments and positions for the NSF Biosketch
in reverse chronological order?
If not, is there an easy way to fix it?
>>OK, it does. Early on we did have a bug which has now
been resolved.
An important part to remember within the actual reverse
chronological order. If you put a start date-- let's go back.
Let me actually go to the directions itself.
OK.
I think I passed it. Let me go back up, OK, right here for your
appointments and positions.
I'm hoping that you can see in Step 1 provide a list and
reverse chronological order by start date.
If you do not include the start date
on every single one, especially when we're talking about the
professional preparation here-- If you do not have a start date
from and you only fill out this end date, but you let's say for
your bachelor's degree, you actually filled it out this
exact way. But for the rest of your degrees, you only put in
the date received. It's going to start with that start date so
automatically.
It's going to be out of whack.
So.
If you ever run into that issue, please go back into your edit
and make sure that you either include start dates for
everything or start dates for nothing.
And that is the easy way to actually remedy it.
>>OK, great. That's all the questions we have for now.
>>OK, great. So let's move on. We are on--
We're almost done and thank you for hanging with me this entire
time. So now we're going to talk about the current and pending
(other) support. This page was set up exactly like the rest of
them. You have your information about the current and pending
support,
the way to actually get to the patching guide itself,
additional information if you have policy questions what is
required,
who a senior personnel person is,
what's the different statuses of support which include current
and pending,
how to get started which you are all pros at right now,
and of course, the sections of the current and pending support.
So within the current and pending support, you have your
identifying information, organization and location, and
it is simply the title of your document itself,
your first and last name, your middle name, is optional, as
well as your current position, the name of your organization,
your city, state,
country (remember, because that's required), your start
date and end date if it's applicable. If you do have an
ORCID ID, again, it's going to show here and this is how it
will look within the screen itself.
Now
for your next hands on,
You will be working with the project proposal summary, so
this is what is actually going to look like. You're going to be
taken to a form where you are going to be filling out all of
the required information, which is by the red asterisk here. Now
notice the proposal award is optional.
Within it, what is required is your social support, your
primary place of performance, the total amount of the award.
Something new within the form which has been an upgrade, you
have the ability to have a total award amount of $0.00.
Now if you have $0.00 you still need to put something in the
person months or partial person months commitment to the
project. You can't have a 0 here and here or vice versa.
You have the ability to add up to 10 person months dates.
And then of course your overall objective which is 1500
characters as well as your potential overlap which is about
500. You have the ability to cancel, save and add another, or
just save it. Once it's complete., you're taken back to
the main page and you are actually going to have a table
in your table will look like this. You have the ability to go
in and edit as well as delete. Now for those of you who have
already
created last year's current and pending support. These are
already migrated for you into the current version itself and
you will see kind of like a little warning sign where you're
going to actually have to go in and add the missing information.
And in most cases it is the country itself.
The third part of the actual, current and pending other
support is the in-kind contribution summary. And this
is where you're going to disclose everything related to
your current and pending and of course this included but not
limited to office space, supplies, volunteers, that type
of information.
Again, you're opening screen looks like this. You will start
with adding in-kind contribution and you need to fill out all of
the required fields itself. And here's an example of when I have
a $0.00 amount but I will need to actually include the person
months associated with the in-kind contribution. But this
works as-- works for the actual project proposal as
well.
So when you're finished again, you have this table where you
have the ability to edit and delete.
Something that is in both the NSF biographical sketch as well
as the current and pending other support is certification, and
that is new this year.
Now the senior personnel is required to certify the
information, so you'll see it here, and when the actual
certification takes place is when you download the PDF
itself. You're going to have a pop-up box where you're actually
going to read through this and you can either cancel or you can
agree. Now once you agree, it will generate the PDF itself
as well as the information about the certification, it includes
your user name as well as a date time stamp.
If you are a delegate and this goes for both NIH-- excuse me
the NSF biographical sketch as well as the current and pending
support.
You're going to require be required to have the account
owner or the PI certify the document before you yourself can
generate the PDF.
I have good news for you, though. We are in the process of
creating a preview button so you, the delegate, are able to
actually print off, or at least view what it will look like on
your screen prior to having your PI, your senior personnel,
certify the document itself.
Now
I gave you a lot of information. Remember those who are new to
this. This is your resource page. You can come back to it at
any time in order to review everything here as well as work
through the actual training sessions. So I'll give you a few
moments. Remember we are currently in--
Scroll way back up. We are in the NSF current and pending
other support.
We're all the way down towards the bottom after certification.
And it is time for Your Turn.
You are actually going to go through all of the steps. You're
going to create the document. You are just going to need to
add
the project proposal as well as the in-kind contribution and
after you finish, you're going to actually download and certify
the PDF yourself. Now this is going to take a little bit
longer, so I'm going to give you even more time. So let's get
this zero off of our clock.
And
I'll give you about 10 minutes.
It may take a little longer and again, if you find that it does,
do not hesitate to just raise your hand and let us know. So I
will put
10 minutes on our timer here.
Continue asking questions and let's get started.
>>While you're finishing up working on this example, I am
going to say this again at the end for those of you who may
need to leave early, however that this is being recorded and
we will be uploading the video recording to the same course
materials website you have seen in a couple of weeks.
OK, as we are winding down to our final few seconds, is there
anyone who needs more time? If you do, just raise your hand.
It's completely anonymous, no one knows.
>>I think we can move on. >>I think we can move on.
So I will take away our timer. David,
any questions?
>>Yes. Did you say that you can only add 10 person
months to the current and pending support document?
>>Yes, you have up to 10 years of documentation for the
person months in current and pending support.
>>Right.
Are we able to create and edit NIH currently and pending
documents as well?
And if so, can we pull them from the NSF CV into the NIH version?
>>Very, very soon SciENcv will have the NIH current and
pending documents as well. Once that is available you will still
be able-- similar to what we saw with the biosketches, you will
be able to move them back and forth by copying and editing the
actual documents themselves. So it will work the exact same way
as it does with the biosketch once we actually have
the form built out into SciENcv.
>>Alright. And could you tell us when the preview button
will be available for delegates? >>Sure, OK our developers
are currently working on the preview button itself, so once
that's completed it has to go through testing. So I guess the
best answer is very soon.
Once it is made accessible, the communities will definitely know
it's there.
>>All right, fantastic. That's all the open questions
that we had. >>OK, great. So I would like to just take a
moment really quick to thank you for joining me today and joining
us today. I hope that you've learned something new and I will
turn it over for our closeout.
